## Description
|
||
|
||
As her bio says, Shizuha is “a cute girl researching linguistics”.
|
||
|
||
Shizuha is talented in linguistics and passionate about it.
|
||
She researched many languages, including both languages originating from China and foreign languages.
|
||
Her ability to effortlessly switch between languages in online chats always brought a lively, cheerful, and even humorous atmosphere to the group.
|
||
Not only was she proficient in communicating with many languages,
|
||
but she also was quick to come up with examples of how pronunciation and grammar are used in everyday conversations for those languages.
|
||
|
||
Shizuha’s work is not limited to linguistics.
|
||
She had contributed to the community of the *Half-Life* series.
|
||
She designed some “GMod” plugins and maps and directed a fan-made work called Combine Prelude for Half-Life 2.
|
||
The most noteworthy fact is that she began conducting research on constructed languages,
|
||
constructed [Combinese](https://yuyan.fandom.com/zh/wiki/联合军语), [Yupoian](https://yuyan.fandom.com/zh/wiki/尤波伊语) and [Crigàt](https://yuyan.fandom.com/zh/wiki/克里加语) for the project mentioned above, *Combine Prelude*.
|
||
Because of her work on this project, she was famous in both the Half-Life and constructed language communities.
|
||
|
||
Shizuha’s favourite anime is *YuruYuri*.
|
||
She used the main character, Akari Akaza, as her profile photo.
|
||
|
||
Shizuha is persistent and brave, both for creative work and life, and sometimes even stubborn.
|
||
Because of that, she had some verbal conflicts with her friends.
|
||
These incidents were, however, resolved quickly because of her friends’ understanding of her character.
|
||
|
||
Shizuha often sought company from friends in the linguistics community because she didn’t feel safe enough.
|
||
Whether online or in real life, she always gave and sought warmth from other trans women and girls.
|
||
|
||
Since Spring 2019, Shizuha was finally able to pass and live as a woman.
|
||
Because of that, she was much more confident and more open to sharing photos on social media to show off her cuteness.
|
||
However, her life quality went down as both her financial situation and her depression got worse, and she even went to the edge of suicide sometimes.
|
||
Even then, she did not stop her efforts to help other trans people.
|
||
In [one of her posts on ZhiHu](https://www.zhihu.com/pin/1091048372731047936), she wrote:
|
||
|
||
> “Although living is painful for me, and I do not know the meaning behind life, I know that I would never regret helping others.”
|
||
|
||
Even now, this sentence still gives strength to many suicide prevention social workers.
|
||
Unfortunately, Shizuha eventually left us, leaving behind many unfinished works.
|
||
|
||
After Shizuha’s death, many people in the linguistics community, the constructed language community, and the trans community changed their profile photos to black and white to mourn her.
|
||
|
||
Under the Zhihu question of [What are your thoughts about Zhihu user @Cang_Shan_Jing_Ye ?](https://www.zhihu.com/question/307482232),
|
||
not only were there goodbyes from the friends she made,
|
||
but also messages from the linguistics community to achieve more in this field;
|
||
and messages from the trans community to encourage each other to keep going.
